Create custom object lists
You can create ad hoc custom groupings for homogenous object types and see the reports relevant to that custom set. This temporary list is only available until:
you log out
your session expires
your browser is refreshed
If you are looking for a more permanent grouping, use Saved Filters in the Inventory.
See Saving advanced filters (Inventory).
To set up a custom Object List
Note:
Object types must be alike to create a custom group.
- Navigate to the Inventory.
- Configure the view to your preference.
- If required, search for a specific set of objects within the Inventory.
- Select the objects that you want to group.
- Click New List. The Add New Object List dialog is displayed.
- Enter a name and click OK.
The new group is displayed under the My Object Lists section on the hierarchy panel.
If your object list is composed of hosts or backup servers, add individual ones to your list using the Add button. When you add them, they are added to your My Object List and to the host group you assign.
- Select the group and switch to Inventory reports to display the relevant reports.
The displayed report set is determined by the base object. For example, if you have selected Backup Servers and for that object type, the Inventory displays Current Media Summary and Backup Executive Summary those same reports are presented. You also customized what reports are displayed.
